| next month. His decision was made
while at Bar Harbor with the we'll

much needed rest. This no doubt is one
OF the reasons why the Maine statesman

back to his home at Augusta. His physi-

Since his return here from the west
Blaine has taken ratio say nothing
publicly about his alarm for his health,
His family physician drops in to see him
nearly every day. The doctor, who has
talked with Blaine's physician, and who
sees him almost daily, says. "RlaIne is

The denial of o pension to William
Hodgsspeth, an Indiana volunteer,
whose case has already been printed, is
an interesting episode in pension his.
tory. He was imprisoned in Anderson
vile, where he was being slowly starved
to death, and TO save his life enrolled
himself as soldier in the rebel ranks.
A few weeks later he deserted end went
over to the union army, where he COM
pleted his term of enlistment. Acting
Secretary OF the Interior Hawkins re.
fGsed him pension on the ground that
he had given aid and comfort to the
enemy. His plea was that he went into
the ranks OF the enemy temporarily te
save his life. Secretary Hawkins reasont
that MIR. Hodgespeth does not know ht
would have died if he had remained a
Andersonyille. Other men, he says
stayed there and did not die. He allege,
that Hodgespeth's claim is based upor
pure hypothesis. That is where Mr.
! Hodgespeth made the mistake OF bis
lifetime. II he had been in earnes
about securing pension he would hav,
died. Then be could have met MIR
Hawkins scruplas with the mortusr;
record and overwhelmed him on tn,
spot. We trust that Mr.. Hodgespetl
will be more prudent in the future.

ID. The matter has never been enauired

ed. The matter has never been enauired
into or discussed, but since 1876 the
governor has regularly sent his appoint
ments to the council and they have
regularly been confirmed. This matter
was brought to the attention Of the
legislature OF lS76-77 through resolu-
tion offered by Mark Bailey, council
member from Lincoln county. The
resolution read:
WHEREAS, Grave doubts have arisen
in the minds of the members of the
legislative assembly in regard to the
legal right of territorial officers who have
been elected by the people to hold and
discharge the duties OF their respective
offices by virtue of said elections, and
also in regard to all other territorial off
GERS who have been appointed by the
governor, to hold and discharge the
duties OF their respective offices until
said appointments shall have been con.
firmed by the legislative council, as pro.
| vided for by section seven of the organic
act of this territory; therefore be it
Resolged, That the governor be and is
hereby requested to send to the council
the names OF suitable persons to fill said
positions and discharge the duties there
of.
at the November election of 1876 Fred
J. Gross had been elected superinten-
dent of immigration, James Holes COM
missioner of immigration, W. q. Caton
superintendent OF instruction, John s.
Sands auditor and q. A. Sherman treas.
urer. With the exception of that Of
james Holes the foregoing names were
sent to the council by the governor for
the respective positions to which they
had been chosen and the appointments
were confirmed. No appointment was
made for commissioner of immigration
and the Office seems to have been lost
sight of entirely. probably because one
immigration officer was deemed suffi-
cient. This was the precedent for the
appointment by the governor and coun-
oil of such officers as auditor, treasurer,

Various Reasons Ashamed.

There have been numerous reasons
given to account for the fact that the
north sides of churchyards are SO often
devoid of graves. In the west of Eng
land there is an idea that the north side
was not consecrated, but was left for a
playground for the children. Then.
some again say that lit is from the tradi.-
ton that Jesus, when dying, turned his
head to the south. Another reason given
is that the south is the sunny side, and
the SIDE where the church door
" is placed, and where, consequently.
most people pass. The commonest rea-
son appears to be that formerly murder
ers, accommodated persons, stillborn
children, ETC., were wont to be buried on
the north side, and some say that ghosts
always choose the north side for their
peregr.1ations. There is, however. an
ecclesiastical reason. The east is Gods
side, where the throne is set; the west,
mans side, the Galilee Of the Gentiles.
the south, where the sun shines in its
strength, is the side OF the angels and
spirits; the north, the devoted region of
Satan and his hosts, the lair of demons
and their haunf.-1roy Times.

The Star of South Africa.

In a farmhouse, with its large table
and bureau bearing a bible and two or
three old Dutch books, and the clumsy
rife leaning in the corner, after the
evening reading of a chapter in the Boer
fashion, a trader named Niekirk, who
CHANGED to be present, told the vrouw
Jacobs that the great white shining stones
they had just been hearing of reminded
him Of the pebbles the children played
with, picked up along the banks of the
neighboring Orange River. AS he spoke,
there entered O'Reilly, an ostrich hunter.
They tried one of the stones on the
window glass and scratched it all over,
the scratches remaining there until this
day. 1t was agreed if it turned out a
diamond all were to share equally. On
his way to Cape Town o'Reilly showed
the stone, and was laughed at for his
credulity; it was ever taken from him
and recovered with difficulty from the
street where it had been thrown, but
she laughs best who laughs last" for in
Cape Town the pebble from the banks of
the Orange was pronounced a diamond,
and bought by Sir Philip Wodehouse
for $500. Ten more such were easily
found by The vrouw jacob, snd early in
the next year, 1868, several were picked
up along the banks of the Vaal, among
them the renowned Star of South Africa
by q H%ottentot shepherd, who sold it to
Fiekirk, the trader, for e40O, who dis
posed of it on the same day for e12, 600.
Then the rush began in earnest, first to
